When Flashlights are Outlawed...

A 38-year-old Rushville man is being held on $1 million bond after being accused of using a flashlight to beat a Mount Sterling man to death.

It was probably one of those semi fully-automatic ones.

Illinois...we have all the latest technology.

This is a small town. There aren't many details in the story, but I still have a tough time convincing smalltown folks that now is the time to develop some spider sense.

Be alert, pay attention, prepare, stay alive.

Thank God he didn't kill the man with beef jerky he had bought at a gun show. I can hear them now calling for the closing of the GunShow Beef Jerky loophole.

As it is, only Everyready needs worry.

It's like they say - don't ever bring a maglite to a gunfight!
(thing might go off accidentally!)
... and they're prob'ly not worth a lick when it comes to takin' on a T-rex!

Only if they are loaded with those high capacity lithium darkness piercing batteries, PNO.

Hah! Now you've got me thinking of how to accessorize my maglight...

I think a 12ga would be about right!

I've been keeping a sharp eye on this maglite of mine since I'd read about this. 24+ hours and counting and it hasn't wrought any havoc - yet.

Maybe I should have bought the evil-looking black one...?
